I was tagged by Shelby. Let me tell you how high tech it makes me feel that I am figuring out how to do this :)1. I check my checking account and Amex everyday. Not kidding - everyday. If I don't check it on Saturday, I worry and check it on Sunday. I am a MASTER at budgeting - stretching every dollar so we can live the lifestyle and have the stuff we want. R used to call me to before getting gas to see if it was OK and would call and ask if it was OK for him to have McDonald's for lunch (I'll order off the $1 menu, promise!). LOL. We have been blessed that I am not that tight anymore, but I still watch every penny come in and go out.
2. I really love shopping for presents and wrapping them. I do not like to give a gift that wasn't thoughtfully purchased and wrapped. I despise giving gifts in bags, but I realize sometimes I must give the dreaded gift bag. (I also shop for Christmas year round and start wrapping Christmas gifts before Thanksgiving.)
3. I am completely Type A - see 2 items above :)
4. I got an earring back stuck in my nose as a kid and had to go to the ER - I bet my mom loved that!
5. The only broken bone I've ever had is a toe (knock on wood). I am 3 years younger than my sis and she told me I was stronger than her, so I should carry a weight across the basement at my aunt's house. Turned out, I wasn't that strong. My aunt sprayed bactine on it, thinking I was being overly dramatic.
6. My mom and my sister are absolutely my very best friends on earth, even though I probably treat them worse than my other friends. (Go Figure - treat the ones you love most the worst - This is something I am working on daily).
7. The first time I met my would be husband, R, he picked me and 5 other girls up from a Keg Party. He was dating my "pledge sister" in the sorority. I thought he was cute and he thought I was loud. This was 1998.
Tag - you are it! Lisa, Brenda, and Polly.

Great list! Can you please share some of the type A with me? Seriously. Especially #1. Mr. S. and I are frivolous little monkeys who can blow through a wad of cash like no one's business. Sad. :(
Lol on the earring back...that's talent!
Ouch on the earring and the toe! I have never (knock on wood) broke a bone, yet. I imagine it hurts, bad.
I hear you about loving to get presents to give to others. I don't like wrapping presents anymore though, I have become the annoying woman who makes gift baskets for everyone. I love making gift baskets.
Thanks for the tag and lovely comments, Tara! Welcome to blogging, too -- hope it helps get you through all this insanity.
